Chapter 55: Loyal Servants
Late at night, Lake Sugvar was silent, after more than a month of treatment, the environment here has recovered a lot, at least there will be no more remnants of demonic plants and bones, although the color of the lake has not yet returned to the clear it once was, but it will no longer emit some strange atmosphere.

The Rekru family was charged with colluding with foreign enemies due to the confession and evidence of the cultists of the evil gods that Hisalie handed over to the Duke of Cerver, and now that the cultists are being ravaged by the cultists of the evil gods all over the empire, colluding with them is even more hated than ordinary traitors, and for a time all kinds of verbal and written accusations are coming to this family like a storm, and the few remaining clansmen have also been arrested and imprisoned, including Sibith Rekru, the vice chairman of the Agricultural Committee who was working in the imperial capital at the time of the incident, which is second only to ministers like Luoan, he could not have imagined that someone in his family would do such a thing, but he could not question the evidence provided by Hisali.
The territory that originally belonged to the Rekru family was all sealed to the Cherver family, although some people raised objections, but with the support of many bigwigs, it couldn't make many waves, and now it is one of the very few places that are still lit up at night, compared to other places, it was once the command point of the cultists of the evil gods on this side of Lake Sugvar, although the flesh altar has been blown up by Hisari, but due to the high concern of the wizarding world about their reappearance, the people of the Saran Magic Association have been investigating here for more than a month。
At two o'clock in the morning, Rouen got up as usual to change shifts with his teammates, as one of the members of the Cherver family's night watch, he was accustomed to patrolling in the middle of the night, unlike other family night watchmen, they were called the night watch because they all had more than five years of front-line experience, and their combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of ordinary night watchmen, and they often received pure military training in peacetime, and not many intruders dared to approach Sugvar Lake, of course, except for the cultists of the evil gods, their patrols were to some extent just to reassure the clan, although they rarely encountered invaders, but their existence was indispensable。
When he walked to a three-way intersection with the Mithril Sword with its own strong light, a swaying figure made his spirit tense instantly, the invasion of the cultists some time ago made them have to be so guarded, at this moment, any suspicious person who came to Lake Sugvar in the middle of the night could be a cult god, let alone someone who staggered like the walking dead like this.
"Stop, please tell me who you are!" said Rouen as he approached with his sword horizontally in front of him, attacking him immediately if he was not.
"Uh... The man who looked up like a walking corpse looked up and saw the Cherfer family crest on Rouen's body that was incomparably clear in the bright light, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and tried to reach it for the other party, and a hoarse voice came from his throat: "Put this... This one... Delivery... ”
Before he could say that he was completely on the ground, Rouen stepped forward vigilantly and touched the man's Renzhong, and then he turned the other party's body over, and several shocking blood holes appeared on his body, with a normal person's physique after being so seriously injured, he would definitely not be able to go far, thinking of this, Rouen immediately stood up and guarded the surroundings, and stood for two minutes without noticing any hostile aura, he bent down and picked up the paper.
"Miss Cherfer!?" Before reading the content, he was shocked when he saw the inscription in Rouen, and immediately observed the man who had become a corpse, and after the torn clothes were flattened, the violations of the Chelfer family and the port of Cancula were revealed.
The Duke of Cerfer sat at his desk and watched the news from Rouen, he had just been woken up from his sleep and was in a bad mood, but he immediately sobered up a lot when he learned that Hisari's messenger had desperately sent the news here.
"Whew... Putting the note down, the Duke of Cerfer exhaled and rejoiced, "Clever, it's good that you came back without seeing the letter." ”
"Lord Duke, what should you do with the deceased?" Rouen raised his head and asked, he also saw the contents of the letter, and was shocked by the behavior of someone pretending to be a family member to trick the eldest lady back and wanting to intercept and kill him halfway, after all, there are basically no people in the entire empire who dare to do this, and he directly pointed the finger at the evil god believers in his heart.
"The Interceptor originally wanted to kill Hisali, then their strength must be more than the strength she showed last time, it's just that an ordinary messenger can actually complete the mission after being attacked and return here, although I don't know how he did it, but his loyalty can be seen, has his identity been found?"
"Based on his appearance and what can prove his identity, he should be Lord Zorno's servant Magan. Karni, who was standing on the side, spoke up.
"Magan, I've heard Zorno say that he saved an orphan in the first place, and he's always done his best to do his job, Karni," Duke Cherver pondered for a moment, "posthumously recognize Magan as a member of the Cherfer family, and bury him in the family cemetery." ”
"Yes. ”
"Then Rouen, you go and inform your captain Alvarin, and look for the place of the accident through the blood stains left by Magan, there is no place near us that is inaccessible, and it is impossible for Magan to carry the mortal wound for so long as an ordinary person alone, it must have happened at night and very close to Lake Sugvar, not far from here. Duke Cherver's face was very bad, he was worried about his daughter's situation at this time: "Then send someone to send a letter to Cankula Port to inform you of the situation, be careful not to reveal your identity, since the gangsters will find out that the mission has failed, they will definitely lie in ambush and wait for the opportunity." ”
"Lord Duke, do you want to check on some things at home? Karni asked after listening to the order, he was also quite cautious and naturally knew what he needed to do most now.
"Of course, this is the second time, and I want to see which family scum is colluding with the gangsters. A cold glint flashed in Duke Cerver's only intact eye, although he usually didn't show much concern for his daughter, but as long as those who are familiar with him know how much this Duke loves his daughter, let Hisari go to Cancula Harbor to exercise and subconsciously lay everything for her, when he heard that his daughter was kidnapped by Kelbanoi, his anger was extremely rare for him, and now the root cause of the accident is likely to come from within, which makes Duke Cerver even more angry, the last time Hisali mentioned this to him, he had already investigated but found nothing, this time he secretly vowed in his heart to find out the inner ghost。
